Den Ei Rai Bu/Bamboo Grove

The bamboo grove (also called 竹林 or Chikurin) is a location in Kishin Douji Zenki 2 - Den Ei Rai Bu. It is the third of the five Anime Sequence Battle stages featured ingame.

The bamboo grove stage is exactly what it says on the tin, large bamboo grove. It features a dried up ground made of rough earth. The background features a seemingly endless forest entirely made up of bamboo trees. The sky isn't visible. Instead, the players will see the treetops of the bamboo trees.

Note, that the bamboo trees themselves are solely for decoration. No matter how fiercely the fighters battle each other, no harm will be done to the plants.

Second Goura Battle


The bamboo grove itself is first visited after defeating Guren in an Anime Sequence Battle. Chiaki will traverse it as a jump-and-run stage. At the end up the jump-and-run stage, Chibi Zenki fights a mini-boss as usual.

Similar to the old well, the bamboo grove's actual Anime Sequence Battle location itself is only properly visited after the mini-bosses' defeat.

Once Chiaki catches up with Chibi Zenki, they will encounter Karuma's servant Goura for the second and final time in this game. This time, Goura is cornered by the heroes and can't escape as in the first battle.

After the dialogue between Chiaki and Goura, Chiaki will use the Vajura-On-Ark spell to transform Chibi Zenki into his Demon God form. Afterwards, Demon God Zenki will face Goura in battle in the bamboo grove.

The background music in this battle is Goura's battle theme.

The battle against Goura is the only story mode related Anime Sequence Battle, that takes place in this location. Once Goura is defeated in this location, the characters never return to the bamboo grove again.

Multiplayer Mode


When the player visits Den Ei Rai Bu's hidden multiplayer mode, the bamboo grove stage will be shown via a thumbnail image in the stage select. It is stage in the middle of the selection screen.

Choosing the bamboo grove stage for battle will have the first player and an AI foe or the first player and the second player start their battle in this stage.

The background music will be Goura's battle theme, regardless which characters are chosen.
